Advice for Safeguarding Buildings Against Chemical or Biological Attack

Last UpdatedApril 27, 2005

This award-winning web site is intended for emergency personnel and for building operators. It contains our current
advice for dealing with a biological or chemical release in a building. It will be updated as our
advice changes.

The advice on this site is appropriate for small and medium-sized releases such as those that
would be expected from a terrorist attack, not for industrial-scale releases
such as those at Bhopal, India or Chernobyl, Ukraine.
